Re: Energy Supspension hyper flex kit. Worth it? (EGB18hatch)
Yea, i would be interested in hearing anyone thats tried this in their Eg? My friend used half that kit (everything that didnt require a press) in his 92 accord and he said it made a pretty good diference in how the carfelt and handled. He said that before the car was real sloppy, now the car handles like it was new, well maybe not that muchof a drastic change but you get the point, he said it felt stiffer, and i bet the ones he didnt use would really help alot more.If i ever get the extra money i'll definetly have to pick up a set.

$120.00 product. Worth it?
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=198196 Trailing arm bushings.
It took nearly a week to install them, and I had to buy a 30 ton press, although you can "cut" the sleeves out, I'm told (although I wouldn't try it myself).

worth it, maybe, but it is the WORST install you'll ever do on a Civic.
After soing mine, I would charge $400-500 for the install alone.

Im currently rebuilding my engine out of the garage so I'm sure I can get through this....... but yeah doing things myself makes me understand why labor might cost a little more than what we want to pay for on big jobs.

I've only gotten my rears installed so far because of the cost factor. I only did those because I had to have both rear shock bolts cut out and the bushings were destroyed. The 6 bushings in the Rear LCA's (inner & outer pivot, shock) cost me just under $200 bucks to be pressed out. The shop told me it was one of the hardest jobs their press had ever tackled.
I'm not even going to bother with the Front LCA's and for the front UCA's, I'm just going to buy the upper brackets off a wreck and sway them out. When they're done, I'll letcha know how it turns out.
Steering rack bushings? forget it!
Motor mounts and shifter bushings
